Matt had wild boar ribs and I had yummy salmon. The kids didn't last too long, so Bebe and I walked around with them in downtown Apex, climbed on the caboose and looked at the stores
Friday, we went to the Y, for my favorite combination of cycle and yoga classes. But, about 20 minutes into yoga, I was pulled out of class. For Hudson. Really? He loves Bumblebees. He must have been having an off day because they said he was just crying and laying around, and then even had to go to time out twice because he was hitting. That is not like him at all.We had to go to Carrboro that night to pick up our race packs and t-shirts for the race on Saturday. It ended up being a really fun evening.
We ate at Armadillo Grill, one of my favorite college spots. Alden ate chips, Hudson ate chips and guac. At least there is corn in chips? 
Then, we drove over to Southpoint and got Matt a free pair of shoes (thank you REI dividend). Alden loved racing us outside on the sidewalks, and Hudson loved looking out the window of the restaurant at all the people/dogs/bikes.Saturday, Matt and I were up early to drive to Chapel Hill for the race. The big deal was the Tarheel 10-Miler, but we just ran the 4-Mile. It was such a fun experience. We ran through campus, past my old dorms, through the Gimghoul neighborhood, which was one of my favorite places to run in college, and then we finished in the football stadium. We ran around the outside of the field and they announced us on the loudspeaker and showed the video of us on the Jumbotron. Cool. The 4 miles went by really quickly and there were a lot of folks running. It did feel really good to make the turn for home around 3 miles, while the 10 mile folks had to keep going. But, I give them all big props not only for running the 10, but for training for it in the freezing cold this winter.
Pop pop and Amber watched the kids for us this morning, and they had a great time. We tried to get the kids down for early naps, and headed to a friends house in the afternoon for our Sunday School class potluck. The family that hosted it has a great backyard, with every kind of outdoor toy you can imagine. Hudson and Alden didn't eat a thing because they were so busy playing.
I made a special birthday strawberry pizza to take, and Matt was a little disappointed that we didn't bring more home with us.Sunday, we did church, and I had a baby shower in the afternoon for a church friend. That night, Bebe was back from her women's retreat, so we all ate dinner over there with Amber and Reg.
We had Matt's official birthday cake that night. Alden and Hudson helped put the candles on and blow them out.
It was such a great weekend. I love spring. I love where we live, and that our neighborhood is all pink with azaleas, and that we are able to enjoy such special time with our families. God is good.
